Parosna by Ale & Aloo

New menu, same chaos. 🙃

A few weeks of experimenting, changing our minds, rearranging the entire kitchen and getting far too emotionally invested in a carrot that didn’t even make the cut.

We’ve brought some new seasonal dishes and even more South Indian flavours to Parosna, and we’re rather pleased with how it’s all turned out.

Although we already know someone’s going to ask for their old favourite back. 😂

So, what do you think? Should restaurants keep their classics or change things up every now and then?

Found this tiny little restaurant in Manchester while I was there with my parents and it was honestly sensational.

Proper tiny, candlelit, tables all close together, amazing food and just such a good atmosphere. One of those places that feels even better when it’s cold and miserable outside.

Exactly what you want from an autumn dinner in Manchester 🍷🕯️

Would absolutely go back.

Perfect place to relax in Manchester

Apparently, you can take Xav home now 👀

For catering.

Your place or ours: send us your date, guest numbers, location and budget and we’ll sort the rest.

Private events, weddings, birthdays, work parties or just a very good excuse to get everyone together.

Available Bank Holiday weekend only.
12–6pm.

Still find it a bit mad that out of all the places you could go, you choose us.

And then you come back. And bring your friends. And celebrate things with us.

Never ever taken for granted 🤍

Before this holiday, we'd gone more than six months without a proper day off.

We thought leaving for a week would mean spending every day putting out fires from 2,000 miles away.

Instead, our team sent us photos of cheesecakes they were proud of, messages asking for more money on the card, updates about gloves, successful transactions, dogs that came to visit and even an apron someone had "accidentally" adopted.

Somewhere between laughing at the messages and replying from a sunbed, we realised something.

They weren't messaging because they couldn't cope.

They were messaging because they wanted to share their little wins with us.

For two people who built this place from scratch, that's probably one of the nicest feelings we've had since opening.

(We're still not convinced the dog updates were business critical. 😂)
